About this item
Our savory, sweet, dried Purple Shallots add umami depth and allium sweetness to myriad dishes, from rice and noodles to stews and braises. They also make a fun, crispy garnish to vegetables, rice or any dish that you'd use fresh shallots in. These shallots are grown in Vietnam's Red River Delta, an area famous across the country for this beloved ingredient. After harvest, they are carefully cured, thinly sliced and laid out to dry. These aren't fried - just hot air dried, crispy shallots. Dried shallot slices are a wonderfully convenient ingredient to keep on hand for cooking up traditional Vietnamese and other Southeast Asian dishes, and French, Italian and the many other cuisines in which shallots are highly prized. (1 big pinch of dried = 1/2 fresh shallot) Looking for shallot powder? We've got it here.

Customer reviews
What customers say: These purple shallot slices are praised for their deep, versatile flavor and convenience in various dishes, though a few found the texture not as crispy as desired.
★★★★★
Deep flavor for any dish
These purple shallot slices are a revelation. The depth of flavor they bring, both savory and sweet, is incredible. We've used them in stews, on rice, and even crushed into a noodle dish. They're a staple for us now, offering that essential umami without the fuss of fresh shallots. The hot air drying process really preserves their natural qualities.
★★☆☆☆
A bit too chewy
These aren't as crispy as I expected; they have a rather chewy texture that doesn't quite work as a garnish.
★★★★★
Versatile and convenient
What a fantastic ingredient to keep in the pantry. These dried shallots make adding that traditional Vietnamese or other Southeast Asian flavor so simple. They really elevate everyday meals.
